Moonlighting is the practice of employees covertly working other companies without the knowledge of their legitimate registered employee. In 2022 Wipro discovered employees who were in this practice and took the strictest action against them by terminating their employment and potentially blacklisting them. this also led to a ripple effect of monkey see monkey do in other IT companies and other sector companies. This research aims to use qualitative descriptive analysis and text mining to find the consequence of such actions. This research believes that the long term effect of such moves is not positive for the company. Temporary and cheap labor has been forever the driving force behind a free market economy. Wipro terminated 300 employees in one swift move and accused them of ‘cheating’. However, this research asks what is the price for loyalty and is loyalty to employee really a desirable requirement or not.
